Strange meal traditions

Quasar

So little raw fruit and salads, so little cooked vegs and even that cooked to deat? And sever under-hydration. OMG that is not good for health at all.

Christmas Day Breakfast - chocolate followed by a bacon butty followed by more chocolate.

We didn't eat Christmas lunch much before 3pm so could get away with it.

Christmas tea would be help yourself out of the fridge - mum was too tired after cooking lunch to make anything else.

We always had our Sunday Roast on a Thursday when my Grandad came for tea.

No weird desserts or anything as mum is not a dessert maker.

OMG poohzee have you tried it that sounds revolting. Apparently my Great Grandma always had cheese for breakfast which my grandma ( her DIL) thought really odd. Mind she had to make up her calcium someway as she had 15 kids! Not as odd as one of my favourite breakfasts - left over chinese takeaway!

My OH doesn't like the blitzed stand-your-spoon-up version, but loves the chopped one.

Or in our house "turn the bowl upside down and the stewp stays in the bowl" type stewp...:D

When I was a kid we always had beans on toast for tea on Mondays because Popeye was on TV and my brother wanted to be like him - bearing in mind that the programme was in black and white and we'd never had spinach so he didn't know what colour it was.

My ex's family had the same dishes every week on the same nights - one of which included quiche and salad served with cold baked beans. I have never come across this before!

We have a Christmas dinner tradition where you get a present at the table to open. think it came from me whining as a kid that all the pressies had been opened by lunchtime,so Mum would stash one each for everyone to open with lunch.
I still do it now. usually OH will get me something little for the table (if he didnt id sulk!;) )
